Giving to God

Chorus:
Giving to God is an expression of faith,
Giving to God, Our hearts and minds celebrate.
,

Verses:
1. Thanking God for all the blessings we receive,
With praise and gratitude we applaud.
Living a generous life shows that we believe,
Spiritual stewardship is giving to God.

2. Knowing that God is the shepherd who guides,
Leading us down the paths we must trod,
Believing that God is the Lord who provides,
With thankful hearts we're giving to God.

3. Giving is an act of faithful discipleship,
Knowing that all we have belongs to God.
The main reward for grateful stewardship
is living life that's pleasing to God.

Faithful Stewardship

Chorus:
May we not hesitate and waver
Walking with Jesus our Savior
Let's do ourselves and others a favor
Through our faithful stewardship behavior.

Verses:
Walking and talking with Jesus,
Helps the joy in our hearts ignite,
Giving as an act of worship,
Takes us beyond duty to delight.

Putting our faith into action,
We share our gifts with love and praise,
We won't miss out on life's pleasures
Joyfully giving in God pleasing ways.

Believing God will meet our needs,
We give thanks for all we receive,
Faithful stewardship is what we do,
After we say we believe.

GOD KNOWS THE MUSIC OF OUR HEARTS

Refrain:
God knows the music of our hearts
And keeps us tuned through His love and grace.
God knows the music of our hearts,
As we share our gifts with joy and praise.

Singing the music God provides to our hearts
We praise and thank Him by the life we live.
Allowing God's melodies to be heard in our hearts,
We sing His praise and joyfully give.
Refrain:

Keeping our hearts in rhythm with the Lord
We share the joy of Christ whom we believe.
Moved by the Spirit to be a willing steward
It is more blessed to give than to receive.
Refrain:

Serving as instruments in the Lord's mission,
We spread His love in all we do and say.
Being committed stewards reflects our Christian vision
That God will meet our needs every day.
Refrain:

Knowing that all we have is a gift from God in Christ.
The foundation of grateful stewardship is faith.
Joyfully responding to God's blessings in our lives,
The more we give,
The more we will celebrate.
Refrain:

Expressing our gratitude to God,
We sing praise and rejoice.
We help make Christ known when we give cheerfully.
Joy of the heart is the greatest of all joys.
The more we give,
The greater our joy will be.
Refrain:

Living in God's amazing grace, faith, hope, love abide.
We thank God for His love through our giving plan.
God wants our first fruits and asks us to tithe.
When we decide we can do it, we can.
Refrain:

We are guided to walk the walk,
And proclaim God's love and Grace
As we joyfully talk the talk.

God's boundless love is joy divine,
In life's dark times our faith survives,
knowing the Son will forever shine.

Receiving from the past, To the future we must give,
the importance of our legacy is that our faith may live.

Sharing our talents and treasures, Helps each of us to grow.

SMART LIVING

Called to serve God is this world, in everything we do,
Sometimes we must give up the old, to grasp onto the new
Celebrating God's love and grace, We respond in giving,
Centering our lives in Christ, that's smart Living.

v. 1
God gives us the challenge, then provides the power
Through Him all our needs are met, each day and ev'ry hour.
Those times we feel we have nothing, we have more than we had before
Cause then we realize we have God's love and no one can have more.

EVERY TIME I THINK OF YOU, I THANK MY GOD

Chorus:
In your life Christ's love shines through
I thank my God for all the good works you do
I thank my God.
May we live every day,
So to each other we will say,
"Ev'ry time I think of you
I thank my God."

v. 1
Responding to the needs and problems in this earthly life,
At times results in the feeling overwhelmed by stress and strife,
Then as we join in worship, and prayer you help remind,
Jesus is the answer every time.

Copyright 1997 Glenn Evavold

WALKING TOGETHER

Chorus:
Let us walk together
Talk to one together
Proclaiming the wonder of God's Word
As we are walking together
Let's share our gifts with others,
In response to the love of the Lord.

v. 1
God tells us in the Bible we are chosen by Him,
To do good deeds for others, That they may know his name.
Let's remember as Christ's witnesses, in this life we have to live,
That to give is to serve, and to serve is to give.

Copyright 1996 Glenn Evavold

SOWER AND THE SEED

v. 1
God is the sower
We are the seeds
It's through His love and grace that we bear fruit to meet all needs.
At times when we are tempted to claim all the gifts are mine
Let's remember we can't bear good fruit without the Lord's sunshine.

Copyright 1995 Glenn Evavold

NO ONE CAN LOVE WITHOUT GIVING

v. 1
We know that everything we have comes from God above.
Even though we don't deserve it He reaches out in love.
The more we seek the grace to love as the Lord commands
The more we know that His love never ends.

Chorus:
Anyone can give without loving
But, no one can love without giving
Yes, anyone can give without loving,
But, no one can love without giving.

Copyright 1994 Glenn Evavold

STIR US, LORD

V.1
We're not the first to believe
That we should share what we receive
To make this world a better place to live.
But now it's our time
To respond to what Almighty God has done
Know the joy that comes to all who give.

Chorus:
Stir us, Lord, today.
Stir us, Lord, today
As we reach out to others
To meet their need.
Stir us, Lord, today,
Stir us, Lord, today.
Through faith we are the doers,
Love is the deed.

Sharing what is honorable in god's sight,
Is our investment in heaven.
